Yarn Letters

CRAFT DAY: Yarn Letters

Supplies you will need for this project:

Large letter of your choice, tacky craft glue, and yarn in the color of your choice. For Medium letters, you will need almost the entire roll of yarn. Scissors.

Time it took to finish this project:

About 3 hours.

Cost of this project:

15 dollars. Letter A (2 of them): 7 dollars, Tacky glue: 2 dollars, Yarn: 4 dollars, plus some tax.

STEPS:

1. Gather all supplies

2. Start wrappin'. I found it was easiest to start at the joints of the letters and work out from there.

3. Use the tacky glue to glue the yarn into place when gravity will not naturally hold it on for you. (the upper sides of the letter A were a pain in the butt. So I glued the yarn where I wanted it.

4. Make sure as you are wrapping, that you are starting all of your yarn ends at the back of your letter- my letter A looked pretty scary in the back after I was finished- but if you take more time than I did- you may be able to avoid that problem.

*Note: When I started this project it looked so easy. All of the blogs that I had seen it published on said that it was easy. IT IS NOT! It required way more time than I thought that it would, and looked alot crappier in the back than I thought it would. I think that this is one of those projects that you have to practice at to make it look great in the end. But, at 15 dollars total for this project- I am broke and will have to try again in a few months.
All in all, I would say this guy turned out pretty cute- not perfect, but cute.
